GRIEF-stricken Gold Coast jockey Scott Galloway and his partner Lisa have paid a heart-wrenching Facebook tribute to their toddler son Charlie, who was killed in a freak car accident at Hope Island on Tuesday.

"Rest in pure peace and harmony our baby boy. Forever in our hearts and every thought. love From Mummy and Daddy and your Family xx 21/3/2011 - 27/11/2012," the post reads.

Charlie Galloway, 18 months, was playing in the garage of a house at Hope Island when he was struck by a Range Rover 4WD about 9am when the woman who lives there drove in after dropping her own children at school.

Mr Galloway and his partner Ms Cuddihy, who live at Benowa, were visiting the Hope Island family after attending the weekend wedding of trainer Brian Smith.

Inspector Geoff Palmer said the driver screamed frantically to Mr Galloway and Ms Cuddihy, who were inside the house and they attempted to revive their son until paramedics arrived.
